Attention all theatre enthusiasts and technical experts! We have an exciting opportunity for a passionate and skilled individual to join The National Theatre in St Kilda as our new Production & Technical Manager. Are you ready to lead and inspire behind the scenes?
The National Theatre, a renowned arts and education hub, is seeking an experienced leader to take charge of all technical and production aspects across our historic venues. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment and wants to make a real impact.
Here's the catch: You'll be at the helm of a small, dedicated team, ensuring smooth and safe operations for diverse performances and events. From lighting and audio to staging and rigging, you'll be the master of all technical domains. But here's where it gets controversial... You'll also be responsible for maintaining and developing our technical systems, a task that requires both creativity and practical expertise.
Your role will be crucial in delivering professional and efficient technical support. You'll interpret technical riders, coordinate schedules, and supervise casual staff, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. And this is the part most people miss: you'll build strong relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, from hirers to suppliers, fostering a collaborative environment.
Now, let's talk about you. We're looking for someone with demonstrated experience in technical and production management within the performing arts industry. Your strong operational knowledge across lighting, audio, and rigging will be a huge asset. But here's the twist: we want someone who can lead and mentor, with proven experience managing technical teams. Can you rise to the challenge?
If you have the skills, we have the stage. Join us at The National Theatre and be a part of our dynamic future. Apply now and let's create magic together!
